I am a K-12 certified music teacher with a license in two states. I currently teach elementary school beginning band, middle school intermediate band, and high school marching percussion. I teach 15-minute individual lessons to 100 students a week during the school day, and I teach private band lessons after school hours. I can play all of the band instruments and I can help students with strategies from my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education as well as from my experience as a classroom band teacher. I have been teaching private lessons for the past 6 years to students ranging from 3rd grade to 12th grade and I have been teaching virtual lessons for the past 2 years. I play in several professional groups on various instruments, and can help with many different genres and styles of music.

I have experience creating strategies for students with ADHD and Dyslexia through accomadations such as shorter lessons, breaks, and alternative ways to read/understand note names. I am happy to help create a support plan for your student.
